With Destiny: Rise of Iron set to release the Heroic Mode of the Wrath of Iron raid next week, guardians max light levels are increasing from 385 to 400 in Update 2.4.1.

As previously reported, Bungie will be unleashing the Heroic Mode of the Destiny: Rise of Iron raid next week. However, it will be made available a few hours later than previously reported to allow players adequate time to download Update 2.4.1, which among other things, raises the light cap from 385 to 400.

Heroic Mode was originally set to be released this Tuesday at 10 AM PST but Bungie announced that Update 2.4.1 will now be released at that time, leaving Heroic Mode to be made available at a later time during that same day. This delay was made to level the playing field for all the hopeful Fireteams looking to be the "world first" to clear Heroic Mode. With global server speeds varying, Bungie wants to make sure there's plenty of time for everyone to download the Update before attempting to workout whatever extraneous mechanics are contained in Heroic Mode. For the full content contained in Update 2.4.1, read below.

Maximum Light increase to 400.

Strike Hoards, Nightfall, Exotic Engrams, Trials of Osiris, Crucible, and Iron Banner will now provide rewards up to 400 Light.

Archon’s Forge, the Heroic SIVA Strike playlist, and Legendary Engrams will now provide rewards up to 385 Light.

Rare Engrams and the SIVA Strike Playlist will now provide rewards up to 365 Light.

The recommended Light for these activities will remain the same with the exception of the Nightfall, which will be increased to a recommended light of 380.

Wrath of the Machine, Trials of Osiris, and Iron Banner will now attempt to reward higher Light on average, compared to the player’s current Light.

Artifacts and Ghosts were dropping from fewer sources than intended and have been added as Archon’s Forge completion rewards. These items will now drop up to 400 Light. In Faction Packages, the rate at which Ghosts are rewarded has been increased. Likewise, the rate of artifacts from Eris’ Faction Packages have been increased.
